Pamela ,Hi,
Don't know what response you have had yet but a good place to start could
be to mail one of the well known Older foundation Golf Clubs who could then
give you the local club that your relative would probably have started with.
If you want any more help on this ,get back to me as I know a little about
the Golf world although a dreadful player.!!
Cheers Sue in LLantrisant Glamorgan Wales.
